Only recorded work we can find by Rosemarie Owino, which tells the romantic tribulations of Aggy, an eighteen-year old schoolgirl. "I now had two men in my life. Henry, the third love of my youth, had never re-appeared and I never saw or heard from him again. There was Tony; the handsome, sympathetic, romantic boyfriend; and Abed, my husband, old, cruel, stiff and boring, but the father of my son and of the child I was expecting," (from rear wrap). Uncommon Kenyan romance from the Spear imprint, which, according to Zell, Bundy, and Coulon, only published 11 titles, all in 1975-76. No copies in retail at time of this writing.
